It is planned that Trolltech extends the Qt Accessibility Architecture (which
is available since Qt 3.0  for the sopport for MSAA on Windows).

An additional amount of work will be to write a bridge between ATK and the Qt
Accessibility Architecture. I currently do not know if Trolltech expects the
people from the KDE Accessibility Project (i.e., me as the only active
developer) to do that.
